Multiple cultures from all over the world combines the
American society, in other words it is multicultural. Why does so many
immigrants move to the United States? Some years back USA was richest country
and a great leader with a lot of power. It contained an opportunity for many
immigrants to get a job. That’s why it was almost like a wave of immigrants
moving to America before. Today it’s still many immigrants moving there. The Mexicans
move to America, probably because of the location. They just have to swim over
the river and walk into Texas. Others see America as the land of opportunity.

American Values Task 3 Christian & Thomas
America
receive about 800,000 immigrants, which cross the border legally. In addition, many
thousands Mexicans cross the border illegally. There are many different ways to
do this, but the most common way is to swim across Rio Grande. It is very
difficult, because they can be met by the border patrol. You may wonder why so
many people choose to move to America. The answer is that they want a better
life and achieve the American dream. They want to start fresh a new place,
where they can get a job and home ownership. The most important thing of is
probably safety from war and persecution. Most of these immigrants face
barriers, as for instance: trying to get a better education.

The American Dream
What is the American dream for the average person
today?
Note: These numbers may not show exactly how things
are today, because they are from 2009.
One could think that the American dream is something
that doesn’t fit with reality, different articles and examinations has shown
something quite different: About 45% of Americans say they have achieved their
dream, 31% think they are going to achieve it within their lifetime and 20% has
given up on their dream. This is actually an increase from 4 years earlier
(2005), where fewer thought they were going to achieve it.
It is said that in hard times, people tend to cling
harder to their dreams; often those dreams also turn into more abstract goals
rather than material.
Therefore, if anyone wonders if people still believe
in the American dream, the answer is yes. Even though the definition of what
the dream is has changed greatly.
